 transfer</h1>
        <p><span style="color: #000000;">Not all FTP sites allow 
 you to rename files and folders on the site. You can rename files only 
 if you have an account on the FTP site and permission to rename files 
 and folders.</span>
        </p>
        <p><span style="color: #000000;">If you can not rename a 
 file on an FTP site, you may not have renaming privileges on the site, 
 or you may be trying to use a long name on an FTP site that does not allow 
 long names. Try a name of eight characters or less.</span>
        </p>
        <p><span style="color: #000000;">To rename a file on an FTP 
 site:</span>
        </p>
        <ol>
            <li class="p-Topic-Text-Numbered">
                <p class="Topic-Text-Numbered">Select 
 the file(s).</p>
            </li>
            <li class="p-Topic-Text-Numbered">
                <p class="Topic-Text-Numbered">Click 
 the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rename</span> button (or select it 
 from the right-mouse menu, or the <span style="font-weight: bold;">File&gt;Operations</span> 
 menu). You are prompted for the new name.</p>
            </li>
            <li class="p-Topic-Text-Numbered">
                <p class="Topic-Text-Numbered">Enter 
 the new name for the item and click <span style="font-weight: bold;">OK</span>.</p>
            </li>
        </ol>
        <p>If you selected multiple files, you are prompted to rename the next 
 file.</p>
